RAINY DAY BOOTS REFAB / REMODELANDO BOTAS DE LLUVIA

These are what in Mexico we call botas de jardinero (gardener boots). Not the most stylish thing that can be seen on your feet, but boy do they keep em´dry! These are Giaco´s muddy gardener boots before the refab.

All I did was cut the top off. They are WAY too long for a little man to be runnin´around in. Plus they are suuuper easy to cut. Just put them on (yourself or your little person, depends on who´s getting the refab) and draw a line where they feel the most comfy (on only 1 boot). Take them off, measure from the ground to where the line is, and repeat on the other boot. Cut away!

They don´t have to be perfect...and I´m not just saying this to make myself feel better about how crooked these ended up. Now you´re going to look for, or buy, a pair of cool lookin´socks...waaaay bigger the foot that will live in the boot (now I just sound plain old weird... hang in there). If this were for a girl, man, I would have gone crrrazy, but my son wanted me to control my need for color and keep it simple.

No tiene que quedar perfecto... y no lo estoy diciendo solo para consolarme por lo chueco que quedaron estos. Ahora vas a buscar o comprar un par de calzetines con estilacho... muuucho más grandes que el pie que habitará la bota (ahora si sueno como loca, tengan paciencia). Si estas botas fueran para nena, hombre, me hubiera vuelto LOCA, peeeero, mi hijo me pidió que contuviera mi necesidad de color. Sencillito y carismático.Turn the sockinside out and slip it into the boot. Hold it down as best you can from the toe area, and pull (sometimes it´s just easier to put the sock on the kid BEFORE the boot). Fold the sock over the top of the boot and send kiddo off to jump in a puddle or something. YAY!
